The Telemann Fantasies are among my favorite pieces for solo flute. I have my students learn them as etudes because they encompass a wide variety of keys, meters, tempi, articulations, and technical demands of sound and embouchure (especially in the wide leaps). I personally enjoy experimenting with ornamentation, especially on repeats. I require my students to write their own ornamental variations which is a great exercise for understanding phrase structure and Baroque style. My favorite flute recording of all time is Jean-Pierre Rampal's version of these pieces.

There are many, many ways to interpret these pieces including playing them with or without vibrato, so I never get tired of playing them. The performances here are my interpretations at that moment. I will probably play them differently the next time!

  • I just bought this song -- I will be playing it for NYSSMA in May.

    I haven't started playing it yet, though I decided to hear it first.

    I'm SO glad I found this! I also checked out your video for vibrato and sound production.

    It helped a ton! This song is a bit intimidating for a 15 year old but I hope to 'master' it within these 8 months!

    Thank you for taking the time to make the lesson videos and such. Great help!

  • dear softball: good luck learning this great piece. Remember to practice it slowly...VERY slowly....
